NAME
       asn1_der_decoding_startEnd - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libtasn1.h>

       int asn1_der_decoding_startEnd(asn1_node element, const void * ider, int len, const char * name_element, int * start, int * end);

ARGUMENTS
       asn1_node element
		   pointer to an ASN1 element

       const void * ider
		   vector that contains the DER encoding.

       int len	   number of bytes of *ider: ider[0]..ider[len-1]

       const char * name_element
		   an element of NAME structure.

       int * start the position of the first byte of NAME_ELEMENT decoding (ider[*start])

       int * end   the position of the last byte of NAME_ELEMENT decoding (ider[*end])

DESCRIPTION
       Find  the  start and end point of an element in a DER encoding string. I mean that if you have a der encoding and you have already used the
       function asn1_der_decoding() to fill a structure, it may happen that you want to find the piece of string  concerning  an  element  of  the
       structure.

       One example is the sequence "tbsCertificate" inside an X509 certificate.

RETURNS
       ASN1_SUCCESS  if  DER  encoding	OK,  ASN1_ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND  if  ELEMENT  is  asn1_node  EMPTY	or  name_element  is  not a valid element,
       ASN1_TAG_ERROR or ASN1_DER_ERROR if the der encoding doesn't match the structure ELEMENT.
